Time for a new build, this is going to be my third water cooled pc. The build is going to be a slow work in progress, i plan to take my time with it.
First off, the case is a MountainMods Pinnacle 24, have to give a shout out to Piggin who not only sold me the case, but totally stripped it down, had it powder coated white, and put it all together with new screws/rivets etc.
Specs i have planned are -
i7 920 (got)
Gigabyte UD5 (got)
6 gig Patriot dd3 1600MHz (got)
Corsair 850W Modular PSU (got)
2 x 5870 (need, hopefully coming end of this month)
Haven't decided on storage yet but im thinking a 240gig SSD and a 1TB HD.
Cooling -
Planning on doing two loops, cpu + mobo and the two 5870's.
Will be using 2 x ddc 18w pumps, one XSPC pump res and a bay res (i know, its personal taste!), a PA120.4 for the cpu and mobo and a Black Ice stealth GT360 for the GPU's.
I will be fully braiding the PSU and all cables, not looking forward to this part, i want to go for a blue colour scheme so will be using a blue and white braid and shed loads of Xigmatek blue line fans.
Onto some pics -
Just to give you an idea of the size look what it does to my UD5 -
Will make sure to keep the thread updated with lots of pictures.
